Someone recently posted a translation of the Babylon 5 (a sci-fi TV
show) opening sequence in Loglan, so I just had to try in Lojban. Here
it is:

.i pu nanca co fagri
.i nanca co daspo
.i nanca ca le nu mi xrube'i le selpo'e be mi
.i pu nanca co rapli jbena
.i nanca co barda badri
.i nanca co gleki
.i pu citno cedra
.i pu fanmo co citri
.i pu nanca ca le nu roda binxo
.i se detri li pi'ererexapa
.i se stuzi la bablan.mumom.

I used observatives and tanru because the original English was
passive-voiced and metaphorical. "It was the year of fire" seemed
closest to {pu nanca co fagri}.

Comments, please.
